About this map

Gay Head Lighthouse stands as a sentinel over the southwestern tip of Martha's Vineyard in this mid-century survey. The landscape is defined by its coastal geology and small fishing settlements, notably Lobsterville and Menemsha, which flank the tidal waters of Menemsha Bight. The interior reveals a glacial topography of high points like Prospect Hill and Peaked Hill, where the drainage of Roaring Brook and the Tashmoo River shapes the inland terrain.
